Answer:
<em>K =400000 J</em>
Explanation:
<u>Kinetic Energy</u>
Is the energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.
The equation for the kinetic energy is:
Where:
m = mass of the object
v = speed at which the object moves
The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)
The car has a mass of m=2000 Kg and travels at v=20 m/s. Calculating the kinetic energy:
Calculating:
K =400000 J
Answer:
The block has an acceleration of
Explanation:
By means of Newton's second law it can be determine the acceleration of the block.
(1)
Where represents the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
(2)
The forces present in x are and
(the friction force):
Notice that subtracts to
since it is at the opposite direction.
The forces present in y balance each other:
Therefore:
(3)
But and writing (3) in terms of a it is get:
So the block has an acceleration of .
